The Wildcats missed his presence, especially early on.
NEW ORLEANS -- Jay Wright was watching film on Monday, putting together a game plan for how Villanova would handle Kansas without Justin Moore. He adjusted his team’s out-of-bounds plays and fine tuned how they would break a press when he stopped to call Collin Gillespie.
“We had that belief in each other. Justin went down in the middle of the year with an ankle injury and we played without him then,” Gillespie said. “And Justin gave these guys confidence, and they did it last year without me. “The reason they were effective inside with their size was because they got us spread out early with Agbaji hitting threes and we weren’t able to get off and help in the post because they attacked us early on the perimeter,” Wright said. “And that can become a problem for us.”
Daniels, who provided a spark off the bench in the four tournament wins, replaced Moore in the starting lineup and matched his own tournament average with 13 points. The Cats scored just three points off the bench and just one reserve -- Bryan Antoine, who logged nearly 20 minutes -- played more than 2 minutes. The Wildcats needed someone other than the usual suspects to step up.
